http://thebiglead.com/?p=110430#comment-416647Only 6 martinis? Did you read the ESPN tell all book? That’s nothing to the ESPN guys in Bristol. They’d do that AND some HARD LIQUOR. :-)

we all are looking forward to putting this behind us

Of course ESPN Is! Those four words, “putting this behind us,” have to be the poorest choice of words in such cases. Lucky for them this came out this week rather than two weeks ago in dead time.

But, the whole, “Dealt with internally” is just ridiculous. The fact is, D&D is as bad for society as many of the actions of those who’ve been fired by ESPN. Equally as bad as Ron Franklin’s comments. But, ESPN is nothing if they are not PC – and anything remotely touching sexism, even a slip up, is one step next to genocide in ESPN culture (and that’s not a justification).

As to drinks, Bombay Sapphire London Club rocks the best for me (slight variation of basic Gin & Tonic – add mint & lime & a bit of simple syrup). But, always drink responsibly and never drink & drive.

I dont get how white wine can be girly. If you are at dinner and having chicken, fish etc… you are supposed to have red wine so the waiter doesn’t call you a fag? I’m not a huge fan of white wine myself, and rarely drink wine that isn’t with a meal, but I’ve never heard that it’s girly.

/had some iced white wine/fruit/liquor combo at a party a few weeks ago… was pretty awesome

http://thebiglead.com/?p=110430#comment-416642It was a sad day when martinis became synonomous with immasculation.

This. Martinis are not girly and drinking one does not make a person effeminate. It is the classic cocktail of the 20th century.

Can’t remember the last time I saw an athlete drinking one in public Usually, it’s beer. Or shots

Whenever I have personally been around professional athletes and/or see pictures of them at clubs, I think it is extremely rare to see them with a beer (or even rarer a shot). Usually they are either drinking champagne or cognac.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=110430#comment-416635Seriously everyone, a martini is made with gin and vermouth. Just make a note of it when it comes up again.

Vodka drinks, while delicious, are not martinis, even when served in a martini glass. Ketel One need not be mixed with olive juice.

/team I don’t give a fuck

we use to call this team the “/doesn’t give a shit” team or “/wanking motion” team.

I’m also down with white wine esp. when it’s hot out or I’m having fish.

No hard liquor? [Ed. Yes, I know what’s in a martini. Can’t remember the last time I saw an athlete drinking one in public Usually, it’s beer. Or shots.] Disappointing.

by the way, your boy Sanchez was drinking a martini the night my wife and I saw him at Del Friscos.

I do this if it’s an inexpensive blend. It’s a great summer drink.

your edit makes zero sense. you’re disappointed he wasn’t drinking hard liquor, but you mention his claim that he drank martinis and then you acknowledge that hard liquor is the main ingredient in martinis.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=110430#comment-416626How about people drink what they like?

I have a bottle of scotch that someone told me never to mix with anything because it’s not what you’re “supposed” to do.

they should be smoking weed…no hangover, no calories, no addiction, no violent tendancies.

But they actually DO do that.

/overgeneralization’d

http://thebiglead.com/?p=110430#comment-416624Is any commenter more obsessed with himself and his role on this board than vez?

No kidding. I still remember thinking “honesty is the best policy”. Then of course I had to go home and wake my dad up to tell him I wrecked his work car.

yes, i know liquor is in a martini.

athletes drinking martinis? really? they should be pounding beers or doing shots.
